Sometimes you can find the licenceing records. They had to renew the licence every year. The appropriate county record office would probably be the best place to find them. I have several publicans/beerhouse keepers in my tree and non of them show on Google or A2A but I have some of the licencing lists. Anne

This site is promising for Midlands pubs, but it isn't complete yet: http://www.midlandspubs(.)co(.)uk/ (remove brackets) Otherwise, trade directories can help: http://www.historicaldirectories.org/ There's also a book that looks interesting: http://www.amazon(.)co(.)uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/186006048X
